Vacancy Description
Ref: M1507
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is seeking senior level experience to strengthen its Board sub-committees and provide additional assurance to the Board. This is an exceptional opportunity to share your talents and expertise to make a positive difference to the lives of people in your community.
The Associate Non-executive Directors will be appointed as members of the relevant sub- committees, and will be invited to attend all board meetings, participating in a consultancy capacity, advising the board but not able to vote.
These Associate Non-executive Directors are also being recruited as part of the board’s succession planning for the non-executive team. Those identified may be considered for appointment to the Trust board, without further competition, when a Non-executive Director vacancy arises.
Person Specification
You will need to have a genuine commitment to patients and the promotion of excellent health care services. We are particularly interested in candidates who bring senior level experience across one of the following areas:
- HR
- Estates
- Capital management
- Primary care
You will need to be able to demonstrate you can use your experience to:
- work alongside other non-executives and executive colleagues as an equal member of the board
- bring independence, external perspectives, skills, and challenge to strategy development
- hold the executive to account by providing purposeful, constructive scrutiny and challenge
- shape and actively support a healthy culture for the trust
All non-executive directors must champion the standards of public life – by upholding the highest standards of conduct and displaying the principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.
As a future NHS leader, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the range of behaviours required to contribute effectively in this board level role. These are outlined in the NHS Leadership Academy’s Healthcare Leadership Model.
- The initial appointment will be for a period of two years. If an opportunity for appointment to the Trust Board has not arisen during this time, you may be considered for further terms of office, subject to the needs of the organisation and a good performance.
We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all and appointments made on merit. We believe that the best boards are those that reflect the communities they serve.
We particularly welcome applications from women, people from the local black and minority ethnic communities, and disabled people who we know are under-represented in chair and non-executive roles.
